About the icon
The Mother of God is shown at shoulder length beside the standing Christ Child. The original Kazan icon, found in 1579, is lost; this is a later 18th-century historical copy, not the original itself. Egg tempera on wood.
An icon is an image for prayer. The description explains theological meaning and prayer tradition; it does not promise an outcome.
